Yeah the souls game footprint is ALL over now. It's getting a bit saturated at this point.

 a bit saturated?   


part of the reason i hated elden ring is that every other game is also elden ring.

Hmmm I personally don't find myself caring about the others because they tend to feel like they miss the mark.

sure, some miss the mark.  some are objectively even better.

i suppose i could try to necro some of my old posts but i was highly convinced (prior to release) that elden ring was going to revolutionize the idea of a open world game.   it didn't happen.  not even a little.   elden ring was at it's best when it was indistinguishable from dark souls.   but those "bests" were disappointing in their monotony to 20 years of souls-like releases.   at time point i'm like bitterly bored with souls-like.

I remember your post

I haven't played a lot of other Souls likes, but none of them have particularly done it the same way for me. 
I played Nioh, Lies of P, Lords of the Fallen (2023) and probably a couple of others. I think they all missed the mark for some reason or another. 

From what I recall, Nioh feels too stiff, even compared to the Souls stiffness. 


I can understand the open world being a bad point on Elden Ring, I can take it or leave it personally. It is like the opposite of what I want an open world game to be, but it's not really what I dislike about the game.
